 I don't know what to think about this one... I think the girl was pushed into adoption and I don't really blame the b/f for being sorta an ass b/c he didn't want to do it.

IDK... Its not over yet... what do you think (if you watched it)

 I feel very sad for her.  I think she feels like she has no choice.  I want to slap her mom..

Just sad...her parents kept asking for a decision, but if it wasn't what they wanted they were so mean!

I think if she cannot support a child on her own, which she can'tand her parents obviously do not want to help with then adoption would be the best decision.  When you get preggers a s ateen its great if you have help, but if you don't you can't live in a dream world.  You have to live in reality and I think those 2 are far from it.

 I think she was brainwashed into it... with NO support from her "parents" she didn't have a chance to think that she could do it.

 Her mother basically told her she was "worthless" and wouldnt be a good mother.

yea I think she wasn't allowed to make her own decision. This one made me cry just b/c I could tell she really didn't want to do adoption and I bet she regrets that decision. Poor girl

Ok, lets say she did make her own decision and keep the baby...then what, how would she support it?  How ould she raise it?

I agree with you. The BF had every right to be pissed off. The parents are freaking wack jobs and I wanted to hit them. I was literally yelling at the tv. I never get upset over this show, but this episode REALLY pissed me off!!!

I feel so sorry for Lori. They are leading her to believe that open adoption is this great thing....it can be VERY misleading.  I know 2 people that went through with open adoption and they were very disappointed with the results. You never REALLY have any rights.

Quoting mandalouwhotn:

I think if she cannot support a child on her own, which she can'tand her parents obviously do not want to help with then adoption would be the best decision.  When you get preggers a s ateen its great if you have help, but if you don't you can't live in a dream world.  You have to live in reality and I think those 2 are far from it.

Exactly.  If parents wanted another child they'd have one themselves. A pregnant teen has no right to force her parents to support her child.
